    You’d think MSNBC and CNN would change up their format. America is CENTER-RIGHT!

  • TylerDurdin

    CNN and MSNBC should just run commercials for the Democratic Party and fire all the talent. They would be broadcasting the same thing and saving a ton on the talent cost.

    Mediaite, are you on something? Lowery’s ratings were DOUBLE those of KO and RM and LEAD all cable news programs at 9:00PM.

    Get some glasses!

    Tyler – very good 7:19 comment!!

    Blitzer is the huge stain on the network. No person wants to wear fabric that is stained. This guy is absolutely single-minded and is NOT a journalist. CNN needs to release him and hire real journalists who come out of college.

    Fox News is a consistent WINNER. It must be traumatic to be a loser week after week, year in and year out.
    Poor PMSNBC and CNN……sigh……..
